- Net line of sight ("LOS") wells totaled 48.6 as of March 31, 2025, up 8% quarter-over-quarter, including 28.9 net spud wells and 19.7 net permitted wells
- Closed $20.6 million of immediately accretive acquisitions, adding approximately 1,350 net royalty acres ("NRAs") located in the DJ and Midland Basins

"We are pleased to introduce a new reporting approach this quarter, with the aim of accelerating investor and analyst access to key financial and operating metrics," said CEO Chris Conoscenti. "We had another strong quarter of production at 42.1 MBoe/d, 3% above our previous company record. Development activity on our assets remains strong, with 11.1 net wells turned-in-line this quarter, well above our historic average, and net LOS wells of 48.6, in line with our historic average. We took the opportunity to buy back shares throughout the first quarter and have continued repurchasing at increased levels in recent weeks in response to market volatility, underscoring our strong conviction in the quality of our assets and our operators, who are amongst the most active, well-capitalized domestic oil and gas producers."
